Bring on the city

For rural vacationers and metropolitan gurus alike, city driving can become a trying or overwhelming experience. Unless, of course, you brought a Garmin nuvi 1490T GPS on board as your navigator. While a preloaded City Navigator NT base map delivers detailed blueprints of North American cities, a host of other features dramatically simplifies your driving. First, Lane Assist technology with junction view guides you to the correct lane for an approaching turn or exit, making unfamiliar intersections and exits simple to navigate. Second, multiple-point routing lets you plan your entire excursion, saving up to 10 routes, specifying via points, and previewing destinations. Third, voice prompts and spoken street names guide you through the city and allow you to keep your eyes on the road. Fourth, the nuvi 1490T even displays speed limit signs and terrain contours, helping you drive safely and avoid steep areas during the winter. Finally, for select North American and European cities, you can purchase and download Garmin's cityXplorer (sold separately), which allows you to take the nuvi 1490T in hand and navigate a city's public transportation system.

At your fingertips

Sure, it's easy to navigate a major city with the nuvi 1490T GPS, but it's just as simple to navigate the nuvi 1490T itself. First, the 5.0" color LCD display offers a wide, clear view of on-screen maps and directions. Second, the LCD display features touchscreen operation. You don't have to worry about fiddling with small buttons, simply touch the nuvi 1490T's screen to enter addresses or navigate features. And, thanks to its ultra-compact and lightweight design, the nuvi 1490T is great for taking with you anywhere, whether by car or by foot. Further, the built-in Lithium-ion battery provides a long, three-hour battery life.

High-tech meets high-safety

Before, answering a cell phone call while you were driving was not ideal. Now that you set out with the nuvi 1490T, however, you're able to drive and make a call while keeping your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel. Thanks to integrated Bluetooth technology and a built-in microphone, the nuvi 1490T works seamlessly with your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone. Simply dial using the nuvi 1490T's touchscreen keypad to make calls. To answer calls, all you have to do is tap the nuvi's screen. The built-in microphone captures your voice loud and clear.

Go green

Sure, you want the Garmin nuvi 1490T to get you to your destination. But it would be ideal if you got there while consuming a minimum of fuel, both for economical and environmental reasons. With this idea in mind, Garmin outfitted the nuvi 1490T with ecoRoute. This green navigation feature calculates the most fuel-efficient route to your destination, tracks your fuel usage, and more. Go green.

Lifetime traffic updates

Avoid traffic and congestion with ease thanks to the nuvi 1490T's lifetime traffic updates. Using the integrated FM traffic receiver and a free lifetime traffic updates service, the nuvi 1490T brings you alerts about traffic delays and road construction that lie ahead on your route. At the touch of a button, you can view traffic alerts and re-route your course to avoid the problem area.
